Chapter 1489

"Are you two together?" Lindsay asked with a tinge of astonishment, clutching Serena's hand and

whispering, "I thought you were engaged? Wasn't his name Romeo? How come it's Martin now?"

Romeo was a man who stood atop the social pyramid, a figure everyone looked up to, and yet Serena

had chosen a nobody that no one had even heard of. What on earth was going on?

"It's a long story. Let me just introduce you, Martin and I have been dating for a few months now."

Serena turned to give Martin a tender look, "Martin, this is Lindsay, my old middle school desk-mate.

We got along best in class and could talk for hours. Then she moved abroad with her parents, and it's

been ages since we last saw each other. I didn't expect to bump into her today."

The two had only kept in touch via social media, liking each other's life updates and leaving the

occasional comment.

It had been years since they'd actually met face to face.

"Pleasure to meet you," Martin said politely with a nod.

"Hello, hello, I'm Serena's good friend. Pleasure to meet you, too." Lindsay responded, then whispered

to Serena, "Wow, your boyfriend is quite the gentleman. His vibe, his upbringing, they're not a bit less

impressive than Romeo's."

Serena knew she was just being nice, but she graciously smiled and said, "I think so. He's nice to me."

As she said this, she gave Martin a sweet glance.

Martin's gaze softened even more, as if touched by her words.

"Lindsay, are you here for Mr. Albright's birthday bash too?" Serena took the opportunity to inquire.

Lindsay, without any guile, laid it all out, "Yeah, my dad wants me to learn chess from Mr. Albright. It

sounds prestigious, you know? Originally, Mr. Albright invited my granddad, but he couldn't make it, so

he passed the opportunity to my dad and me. What about you? Are you here with Mr. Collins?"

"I came with him," Serena gave Martin another affectionate look.

Lindsay appeared surprised, "Mr. Albright’s invited him? That means your boyfriend must be quite

something to catch his eye. That's so impressive!"

Just moments ago, she had thought of Martin as a non-entity, but now she looked at him with newfound

respect.

Serena said with a smile, "Martin, Lindsay and I haven't caught up in a long time. We're going to chat

for a bit."

"Of course," Martin nodded at her and tipped his head to Lindsay before excusing himself.

"Your boyfriend is so attentive and kind to you. What's the situation? Why aren't you with Romeo

anymore? There's been no news about you two."

The Collins family and the McMillian family's engagement had been arranged long ago.

Serena's eyes fell slightly, "I'll tell you the truth, but you mustn't breathe a word of this to anyone."

Seeing Serena's hesitation, Lindsay nodded and whispered, "Don't worry. I can keep a secret."

"It's just that."

Before Serena could finish her story, they saw a girl enter through the main door.

Even without makeup, her striking beauty was undeniable - her face was extraordinary, almost unfairly

beautiful under the lighting.

Damn it!

She had actually come!!

The butler at the door couldn't hide his delight at the sight of Arabella.
